Understanding what token burning consists of

in hive-175254 •  3 years ago  (edited)

Hello PROJECT-HOPE community, it is but that you are having a great week. Take good care of yourselves, even though things are a little better, we must continue to stay safe.

Within the DeFi financial system, and in the crypto environment in general there is activity that is carried out with the goal of positively affecting the economics of some project. Luckily, the economics of cryptocurrency projects, and that aspect in particular have more leeway than when it comes to traditional economics.

I am talking specifically about token burning. This activity consists of literally disappearing, taking out of circulation a quantity of a specific token, so that when there is less quantity in circulation, its price can go up.

I think that, in a certain way, we all know the effect that the little existence of something has on its price. For example, tokens that are produced by the millions, and never stop being issued, are more likely, with the passage of time, to tend to fall in price, as happens with the dollar, the euro, or any other fiat currency. Although we know that there are some cryptocurrencies that, despite the fact that their issuance will be indefinite, do not stop rising.

But, in general terms, when there is little of something, when something is scarce, it costs more to get it and as a consequence its price will rise. This is not a new strategy. It is something that many projects apply precisely for that purpose, to raise or maintain the price of the cryptocurrency.

But does it always work?, obviously not. Because it is not the only thing that is necessary for a crypto to maintain a specific price. For example, its usefulness, people's confidence in the project, the number of tokens produced daily, among other things.

But, even so, it is still a fundamental part in many cases, of the economy of many projects. I want to bring a recent example of a project in which I am participating from the beginning, where you can clearly see the effect of token burning.

As you can see, the WOX token, from the wox-defi project until March 22, had a ratio of 3 TRX for each WOX token. That day, investors would have the possibility to withdraw their profits, if they so wished, which meant that there was a massive sale, as usually happens with the beginnings of this project, and the price dropped abruptly.

Taking the price of WOX to its lowest level. But, yesterday, March 29, a burn of almost 30,000 wox tokens was carried out, and it can be seen how the price came to balance practically equal to one TRX.

This is how token burning works. Thank you very much for reading my post.

Currently, related to Steemit, @xpilar and his team are carrying out a DeFi Project, specifically on the TRON Blockchain. Where the Token WOX is the protagonist.

Here are some links that can serve as a guide:

hello @josevas217
A very concrete and precise publication to know how the token burning consists . no doubt that the Wox token as a result of that burning could improve its price and I am sure that the @xpilar team will seek other measures to make the burning of the Wox token that will benefit all those who are part of the WoxDefi.
Thank you very much for sharing

Hello @josevas217, this clarification is quite timely, considering that it is a strategy that they have been applying in some tokens for many years and as true as you say it will not always give the best results, but what I have observed is that for a certain group of people means a positive opportunity.

Yes, there are no foolproof strategies. But burning can help.

Thank you for support me

Greetings friend @josevas217, very good explanation on this topic, and the best example we can currently take to understand it even better is what is happening with the SLP token of Axie Infnity, which has depreciated in value due to high token generation and low token burn.

It is a good example that you raise, that's right. More is produced than is burned, which is why the SLP continues to fall.

Greetings @josevas217 💕❤️💕

I must say I'm really impressed with your write up and I can also notice some similarities between your post and a recent content I just published which has to do with token reduction... This is really great and token burning is definitely one of the top best method to adopt whenever the crypto project needs their token to be more valuable in future.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead 💕❤️💕

I blogged about burning recently and I must admit that I love the research and knowledge that I gained from it. It was a nice interesting experience I must admit. Burning in cryptocurrency is an amazing thing. Nice post.

Ok, I will check out your post where you talk about this topic. We are always learning. Thanks for commenting.

hello @josevas217,
you are absolutely right, not only token burning influences the price. many projects that do not develop a good internal economy end up failing even when they burn their tokens, in my point of view token burning should be part of a larger strategy that guarantees the demand for tokens.

This is evident, not only token burning is sufficient to maintain a fair price. The reality is that it is only one part of a set of strategies.

Hi @ josevas217, thanks for sharing this valuable information with all readers, it is important to know the meaning of what is token burning, because if we are immersed in the world of cryptocurrencies is necessary to know these basic concepts.
Greetings

Greetings @josevas217 thank you for keeping us informed about DEFI finance developments, and moreover for sharing valuable information related to the developments behind WOX.

Thanks to you for commenting

This is an excellent explanation of token burning. In my opinion, burning could serve as a tool to drive the price of a token upwards. This is because burning reduces the number in circulation and as such, creating more demand for the token and price ultimately increases.

Nice piece buddy

Thus, the idea is that there will be less quantity and in theory, demand will increase and for this reason the price should go up. However, this is not always the case.

Hello @josevas217, you touched on a very interesting topic and I think that one of the things that should be investigated in the path of a project, sometimes it is often poisitive and helps to increase the value of the token.

Very good explanation, I take an apprenticeship, have a great weekend.

It is just one of many options, there are more things to consider for a truly substantial price increase.

I read their post related to burning WOX tokens and I liked it, but my hope is they will combine burning with some exciting announcements and partnerships, otherwise, it would have little impact on the price.
Anyway, I don't think I'll be selling my WOX tokens anytime soon

Thanks for sharing. Have a good day, buddy

I don't plan to sell them either, the idea is to keep it and for my part, I'm going for the long term. Other things are coming, of course.

Burning helps stabilize a token price and also reduce circulation of a mentioned token, wox burn strategy will for sure increase and stabilize price value and also attract investors.

This is a good initiative by the team to move wox price value.

It is one of the things to consider for project economics, but there are other things that influence the price.

It's a strategy that tends to work. But as you correctly mentioned - not in all cases. Because other factors also affect the price of a token. It's basically about demand and supply. The more there's excessive supply of something the price goes down. But when you reduce the supply, such that it becomes a little bit scarce, price tends to go up, because of higher demand.

I enjoyed reading your post. Very informative. Thanks for sharing!

It is up to us to believe in the fact that the team will always look for ways to establish strategies to keep the project moving forward.

Another interesting choice of topic @josevas217

I think that, in a certain way, we all know the effect that the little existence of something has on its price.

Im not sure how to understand that sentence.
Are you saying that burns are having little impact/effect on token price?

In my opinion, it is crutial to understand that it hardly matters if demand is coming from buy-backs and burs or is caused by investors. Or maybe some utility is allowing to bring more demand.
Demand is demand. End of story.

What matters is ensuring that demand will not be overpowered by supply (selling pressure). So on one hand it is important how many tokens are being issued into the market and how many are being hold by people.
Great example: HIVE - it's demand is so much smaller than amount of tokens being "printed" on daily basis. But price is growing. Only because majority of HIVE users do not want to sell.
That's what matters.

Yours, Piotr

Hi dear friend @josevas217

But does it always work?, obviously not

It takes more than burning a token for a project to go ahead, but burning a project is always good, it is an anti-inflationary measure with which I agree, I hope that WOX finds its way, I am sure it will

god bless you

Yes, that's right. Burning tokens only helps, but it is not a definitive solution.
